Special Correspondence Of Gazette and journal
DELAWARE Cry, Jan. 22.-The farmers in
tne vicinity OF Christiana and Red Lion are
eAclteo over the appearance In their neigh
poInOod OF some wild animal which has
been killing quite number OF sheep,
snoats, and young pigs. The animal has
been seen by several farmers and In Rp-
pearance resembles a panther, It has been
shot at several times but has always
escaped by fleeing away In the darkness. IL
only making Its appearance at night. II is
quite likely that 1t was the animal that
Killed Mr.. Herhert's sheep one night this
almost impossible Tor one dog to KIN "a
sheep In one night. Its principal point of
attack seems to be at the throat sucking the
lie blood away from Its victims and ieay-
ing their bodies limp and lifeless on the
ground where they are found In the morn
Ing dead by their owners.
The following experience was given to
your correspondent by a coloreh man from
near Red Lion who was attacked by this
animal night or so ago. He was sea ed
In his carriage, his mind absorbed with
thoughts and his horse jogging along at
slow gait, when he was brought to his
senses by sudden Jerk of his carriage
which nearly threw him from the seat. The
horse commenced to snort and plunge into
the ar llke something mad. The man
peered into the darkness and saw some.
thing that looked like two balls Of Are at
the horses head and which seemed to be-
elinging to the animals throat.
In relating his adventure to your eorre-
spondent he said: For Gods sake massa,
l thought the old boy was after me, and /
was almost skeered to death, and IL God
would forgive me now l would not steal
any more chickens; deed, massa, thought
my time had come"
While the horse was rearing, the man
dropped on his knees and began to pray.
He drew himself up with an effort and saw
that something must be done to save the
horse and himself. Pulling the whip from
its socket he erawled out on the shafts and
rained blow after blow on the animals head
and body without any perceptible effect.
Finally the animal l0osened its hold from
the horses throat, gave wild cry and
started of at rapid gait to the woods close
BY where It disappeared In the darkness.
Upon examination the horses throat was
found to be terribly lacerated and bleeding
profusely. IL was taken to the nearest
house and its wounds dressed. The ground
where the struggle took place is covered
with blood and loose dirt, showing the
effort the horse made to loosen the ANIMALS
hold. The nimal'sappearance is also con-
tirmed by several reliable men of Red Lion,
who declare that 1t is no myth.

NEW CASTLE.


NEW CASTLE, Jan. 25.-A gang of bur
glars have been operating in this vicinity
for several nights past. On Friday night
they entered the office of J.. G.. Knowles
wooden mills by means of back window
and attempted to rifle the safe, but were
scared off by the Waterman before accom-
plishing their purpose. j. T. 81 L. e.
Eliason,s office was also broken into the
same night, the safe was rifed but nothing
was taken, as Mr.. Eliason left no money
in the safe. On Saturday night threa
men entered the residence of Samuel
Hilton In Herbert's row, but nothing
valuable was taken. On Monday night
they attempted TO enter @. L. Clewell's
residence on Orange street, but were
scared of by Mr.. Clewell.
The recent thaw has caused the ice in
the Delaware to break up and all the YES
sells that were in the harbor, with the ex.
ception of few schooners, have cleared.
NEW CASTLE, Jan. 26.-The board Of
education held its regular monthly meet
ing last evening. Members present,
President Herbert, Eliason, Wilson, Jan

4 WALL GIVES war.
An Old building that should Rs
fern Down at Once.

Torn Down at Once.
The wall facing Spring Alley OF the
back part of the building at the south.
EAST corner of Spring Alley and French
street, gave way Sunday and fell out
ward into the street. Two daughters
Mrs. Fields, q colored woman, who oc
cupied that part of the building, were il
it ut the time of the wreck, but az IT,.
wall fell outward, they escaped without
injury. The part of the building occu
pied by the family was but one
and a-half stories high, and was
built over a century ago, it is supposed.
It has been in a dangerous condition for
some time, and it WAS apparent some
days ago that it would soon collapse, but
the premonitions were not needed. The
structure now resembles similar huts of
poor people, az represented on the stage,
with the side of the building removed. A
bed, cooking utensils, stoves, &c are
still standing in the same position as
when the place was abandoned.
The partially collapsed back building
and the main structure itself will furnish
the material for first-class catastrophe
in the near future, unless the city authori-
ties take some action. Two more fami-
lies live in the main structure, whose
foundation walls are being undermined
and are unsafe. The chimney on the
back building and the latter itself are
liable to fall at almost any moment.
The fire companies responded yester.
day when they heard OF the wreck, but
their services were not needed. The Fields
family has removed over Eleventh street
bridge, while the remaining families are
frightened, and desire to move. The
building is leased by George W. Baker.

town, met with q mysterious accident
yesterday afternoon. He had Just put on
his overcoat preparatory to leaving the
store and was leaning over the counter
when he saw dense smoke enveloping
him and in q minute flames flashed from
his overcoat. He was in dangerous
plight, but had the presence of mind to
avoid breathing the flames around him till
with the assistance of the clerk he was
covered with piece of goods and the fire
smothered. He was not burned seriously,
but his coat and other articles were de-
stroyed. Its origin is quite myterious
and unaccountable as no matches were
about him at the time.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
ToBoNTo, Jan. 26 Referring to the Wash
ington fisheries legislation the Globe to-day
says:
aThe United States Senate since II became
caucus OF plutocrats has displayed little
statesmanshiy and Its decadence in the
general esteem will be furthered by its
"Bstaliatorp" fisheries bill, when no regu-
lar evidence was before them and with
none in rebuttRl of the statements of the
angry fishermen. The senators ofthe United
States have brought Canada up for trial
pronounced her guilty and put weapon
for her punishment into the Presidents
hands. The use Of that weapon will injure
American trade at least as much as Cana
dian. 1t does not lessen the contempt due
TO the senatorial legislators. Their game,
10 its diplomatic aspect is the old one of
alarming Great Britain into bulldozing
Canada"
The Mail says: "a retaliatory measure
has been passed ny the United States Rnd,
rs a result, poor Canada is to suffer- all the
frowns NJ the Republic II she persists 10 en-
forcing her treaty rights. Only two seizures
were made for the violation by Americans
OF the treaty by purchasf*g bait. TIA Ca
indian government has not In
single instance refused any fair rights
of hospitality having allowed all reasonable
facilities for shelter, repairs, obtaining
wood and water, getting medical advice and
reasonable supplies for the sustenance OF

lodges, thus forming Joint committee of

Six of the nine met last night and or
ganized by selecting David Downs as
chairman and James Il. Appleby as secre-
tary. The subject was then discussed at
some length and tho general sentiment
favored a weeks jubilee, commencing on
Monday night and closing Saturday night,
in which all the lodges will take part.
The nature Of the celebration will be
varied, instructive and entertaining, and
a general good time will be
bad. II was proposed to have
the room formally opened by Del
aware Lodge, No. 1, and that
D. G. M. John M. Whitford should be
invited to make the opening address.
Good vocalists will be secured TO enliyen
the occasion, and prominent Odd Fellows
will be inyiie ed TO deliver short addresses
on subjects Ct particular interest to the
fraternity; Canton Delaware, P. NJ, will
be asked to be present each evening in
full uniform with a view TO giving exhibit

and the grand officers of this Jurisdiction
be invited to participate.
To carry out these suggestions the fol-
